A Correspondent, in consequence of the Letter from the Loochoan, which appeared iti THE SUN last Week, has been induced to lavotir tfs with the following letter from POMARE, King of Tahete, one of the.Sociery Islands. It was written, with- out dictation, in the original language by himself, and the translation which follows was also entirely his own. We have the original MS. which is very fahly written, in our possession. It was addressed to the family of Mr. YouL, ohe of the Missionaries to Tahete, ih consequence of their desire that Mr. YOUL, who is well known to the Gvntleman to whom the manuscript belongs, would return to this Country : " Matavae, Mimic, Dec. 18, 1806.

A person who formerly lived in Portsmouth writes to a friend front St. John's, New Bruns wick, under date Aug. 13 ;-- , " Since ',have been in this city, it has been visited by a great number of people from Europe; the far greater proportion from Ireland, whose •principal object was to get to 'the 'United'States of America. Others from Scotland and Yorkshire have settled here, and taken up their -lands, as by law allowed. The nutaber of inhabitants is in creased one-third. It is a great pity that emigra tion to America' cannot be avoided ; for, reason as you may, cone to this—it is supplying a ri►al nation with she sinews of war ; with the men that must, and will ere long turn their arms against the country which gave them birth—the Government that succoured them in the day of distress may, from the natural operations of the mind, afterwards reckon upon their best affece Lions and services. 'tire have a free trade with America, but none of their vessels have yet en tered our harbours. Our ships have stopped some of their fishing-boats, and they have retaliated upon our trade. We must keep a sharp 100k -out, or they will get the start of as it respects our possessions here. This city is greatly improved since my residence : toits public buildings have been recently added; . a Scotch kirk, a Baptist Chapel, and a Raman Catholic chapel. The Bap tist Chapel is supplied from England, and he is a very able preacher. The merchants have begun to build their houses with brick and stone, and of na small magnitude." By intelligence received .from Palmas (Canary Islands),,we learn that t►te 'Buenos-Ayres priva . - teers in that direction had been very successful. On the 22d of July three Sp4nish ships were cap tured by one of them, which were bound to the Canaries ; the•cargoes of two of theirs were taken out and put mr hoard the third, which was 'man ned ; ,the others were given up to the prisoners - : It appears Also, by letters front the-West Indies, that the cruizers from the River Plate have been very active among the Spanish traders. The Ameri can brig Rachael and Sally, from POrt-au-Prince, was boarded on the 3d of Anost off Arcadois by the Buenos Ayres brig of war General San Mar tin, the Commander of which stated that he had made three captures. • Friday the King George packet sailed front Dover for Calais, with Count LIEVN, the Rus sianos- sian Ambas;ador, his Lady .a family, on tF, heir way for Aix-la-Chapelle. The same day Le De siree French packet' sailed with Count d'OsmoND (son of the French Ambalsador), and Countess d'OsmoND, hits Lady, mid suite. The PRINCK ItIiGENT has made a.present of thr e e splendid carriages to his Majesty the Ent petor ALEXANbKR. They reached Aix-la-Cha pelle about the end of September.

From " Entlynzion," a Poctic Romance', ItY JOHN KEATS. Beneath my palth trees, by the river side I sat a weeping: in the whole world wide There was no orie to ask tine why I Wept. And I kept Brimming the water-lily cups with team Cold as my fears. • And ail sat, over the iight blue hills There came a noise revellers the rills Into the wide stream came of purple hue— "rwas &wows and his Crew ! The earnest trumpet spakei' and silver thrills Ot kissing cymbals made a merry din= 'TwaS -Bitecttus and hiS Like to a moving vintage, down they came, Crown'd with green leaveS, and faces all on flame, All madly dancing through the pleasant valley, To scare thee, Melancholy!' -•• • ' 0 then, 0 then, thou.wast a simple name! And I forgot thee, as the berried holly By shepherds is forgotten, %lien, in June, Tall chesnuts keep away the sun and moon.— I rush'd into the fully ! Within his car, aloft, young BACCHUS stood, Trifling his ivy-dart, in dancing mood, With sidelong laughing; And little rills of crimson wine imbrued His plump white arms, and shoulders, enough white For VENUS' pea. ly bite : And near him rode SILENUS„ on his ass, Pelted witt► flowers as he on did pass, Tipsily quaffing. Whence came ye, merry Damsels! whence came ye! So many, and so many, and such glee ? Why hare ye left your bowers desolate, Your lutes and gentler fate? " We follow BAccHus ! BACCHUS on the wing, A conquering! riAccHus, young BAccuus !,good or ill betide, We dance before him thorough kingdoms wide : Come hither, lady fair, and joined be To our wild minstrelsy l" Whence came ye, jolly Satyrs ! whence came ye! So many, and so many, and such glee ? Why have ye left your forest haunts, why left Your nuts in oak-tree cleft? " For wine, for wine we left our kernel tree; For wine we left our heath, and yellow brooms, And cold mushrooms; rot Wine we follow BACCHUS through the earth; Great. God of breathless cups and chirping mirth Come hither, lady fair, and joined be To our mad minstrelsy !" Over wide streams And mountains great we went, And save where BAC(aiUS kept his ivy tent, Onward the tiger and the leopard pants With Asian elephants : Onward these myriads.--with song and dance, With zebras striped, and sleek Arabians'. prance, Web-footed alligators, crocodiles, Bearingitpon their scaly backs, in files, Plunip infant laughers,tnimieking the coil Of seamen, and stout galley-rowers' toil : With toying oars and silken sails they glide, Nor care for wind and tide. Mounted on panthers' - furs and lions' manes, From rear to ran, they scour about the plains, A three days' journey In a moment done ; - And always at the rising of the sun, About the wilds they hunt, with spear and horn, On spleenful unicorn. I saw Osirian Egypt fall adown, Before the tine-wreath crown I saw parch'd Abyssinia rouse and sing To the silver cymbals' ring! . I saw the whelming vintage hotly pierce Old Tartary the fierce ! . The Kings of Inde their jewel-sceptres rail, And from their treasures scatter pearled hail ; Great Brahma from his mystic heaven groans, And all his priesthood moans ; • ' Before young BACCHUS' eye-wink turning pale! Into these regions came I following him, Sick hearted, weary—so I took a whim, To stray away into these forests drear, Alone without a peer; And I have told thee all thou mavest hear. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.. GUILDHALL—Satnrduy .a very . respectable trades►nan in the City.applieij to the Sitting Ma gistrate, in his private room, to grant a warrant for the. apprehension of his sister and a servant man, with whom she I►ad thought proper to elope, and marry wi!hont his consent or privity. Magistrate.—" Pray, Sir, is the Lady a minor ?" Applicant.--." A minor ! the d-1! she is within a year of my own age, and 1 am nearly threescore !" Magistrate.-.." I am afraid your application to me will be of no use, for you cannot even show that you have any legal controul over the Lady. You may, however, relate the cir cumstances, and it I can assist you I will." The tradesman then with much warmth proceeded to inform the Magistrate, that the lady in question had been his house keeper, his nurse, and his every comfort for more than 20 rears, for be binisrlftwas a bachelor. The only domestic in the fatuity, with the exception of a cook ntaid, was a Mall axed abort forty, of grave and soher habits, named Michael, who - had beets all his lifetime in the service' of .the family. His sister was constantly sou:lt - ling the praises of " steady sober Michael:" and the result was, that. she eloped win * , him, leaving a letter addressed to the complainant, stating, that she could tint resist the entreaties of the " dear fellow" to make bins happy. The fugitives were slow livinz in Al dersgate-street. He had solicited his sis , er to re; tot s but to this she would not consent, nuless accompanied by hrr hns bamt. He determined upon trying , shether or not the late could compel her to act as be wish e d, • and at the same time punish the perfidious Mie'tael. The Magistrate said he felt very ousels at his distress. but he was swot iseti at hi s app li ca ion to ;Jim, as it was a matter of which a Magi s t ra t e cou l d nut posslulyto a cog tizance.

DiltrltY-LANG. --- The lively Opera of The Duenna attracted a very numerous audience !CI this Theatre, on S,tur idy last. On this occasion Signora BELL6AR came forward in the part of Carlo. This Lady was born to better expecta tions than the public stage, and her education was appropriate to her expected rank in life. She is, we understand, the daughter of Mr. MoatTneaFtt, formerly a Member of Parliament, and a Gentle man of considerable fortune, but who unhappily sacrificed it in acts of benevolence,and ruinous spe culations. SignoraßeLLoaa, atewyears ago,made a conspicuous figure in the higher musical circles, where her talents, and attni,ble and unaffected manners, procured her many fiends. She we•.r abroad to improve her musical education, married an in the Spanish service, who died a few Months after the union, and lett his widow to subsist upon the exertion of liar abilities. Her appearance, on Saturday, watt highly gratifying to the Public,.and the Theatre has reason to rejoice in such an acquisition. Her face is expressive and her person well formed. H:r manners are peculiarly graceful and elegant. So tar as action is concerned, we never saw the part of Carlos so sustained. :Her voice is powerful, and rich in tone. She sung with feeling and expression,: and was encored in two of her songs. Her re ception wasin all respects highly favourable, and we should not be surprised to find. that her ta lents are not limited to Mere singing characters, it she eatv be induced to aSpire,et theatrical repo ialjolll4.7NDEN, Mrs. SPANKS, gave. all due, support to Jerome,-Mendoza, and 'Margaret.—Mi ff s WITH very beautiful young Lady, a pupil of Mr. AngOota,.a Composer of me rited eminence, appeafea in the part of Clara, and acquitted herself in 0,v07-itroniising manner. Her " Adieu thou dreary pile," was chiefly admired. These acquisitions willprobably, in a great degree, revive the popularity of the Opera, which, in point of character and dialogue, is tar superior' to most modern compositions of the-same description. AMERICAN SEA SERPENT. We extract the following article from a Boston paper of the 213 t of Angost : " Captain RICH, who went from here a few days since in pursuit of the Sea Serpent, writes as follows : " Squam Ricer, Aug. 20, 12 o'clock. " After several unsuccessful attempts, we bare at length fastened to this strange thing called the Sea Serpent. We struck him fairly, but the harpoon soon drew out. He has not been seen since, and I fear the wound he received will make him more cautious how be approaches these shores.—Since my last, yesterday, we hare been constantly in pursuit of bins by day; he always keeps a proper distance from us, to prevent our striking bim. But a few hours since, 1 thought - we were sure of - him, for I hove the harpoon into him as fairly , as ever a whale was struck; he took from us about 20 fathoms of warp before we could wind the boat, with as Much swiftness as a whale. We bad but a short - ride, when we were . 'all louse from him, to our sore disappointment. ~ R. RICH." " Glocesterokug. 20. " As I thought it would be interesting to you tq 'Near from Capt. Rich, and as be is at some - distance, I will gtee you some particulars of his cruize. On Monday last he sailed from this in a large whale bOat, and two smaller ones,well manned. My brother commanded one of the boats. Yesterday they met the serpent off Squall), and chased him about seven hours, when they closed with him. He passed directly under the bows of Captain Rich's boat ; he immediately threw the harpoon, which pierced him about two feet; he drew the boat a con siderable distance, but went with such velocity that he brake that part of the boat through which the rope passed,and drew out the harpoon, I hope they will have another opportunity before they give up the chase. He has no scales on hint, and. no bunches on his back; but his skin is smooth, and looks si milar to an eel. In the attack, Captain Rich had one of his hands wounded. These particulars 1 have in a letter from my " SAM. DEXTER." brother. On Thursday, about one o'clock, a beautiful In diaman, of 1330 tons burtben, was launched from BARNARD and ROBERTS' Dock, Deptford. Site was named the Windsor. Last night 2 male convicts, chiefly consist ing of pickpockets, were removed from New gate and sent to the Laurel bulk, at Gosport, preparatory to their being-transported to Nev South Wales, pursuant 'to their sentences at the late Old Bailey Sessions. They are mostly tit. he transported - for life. A number more will be sent off in a short time. A young - man of the name of HOOD, has, at different periods, saved no less than thirty-two of his fellow-creatures from being drowned in the river Liffey. As some reward for his gallantry and hinnanity, the LORD LIEUTENANT Of Ireland hasppointed him as Boatman to the Revenue department. REMARKABLE SHOT.--A beautiful yonng golden eagle, having a large Hat fish in its beak, was on Wednesday last shot flying over Southampton Beach : it measures upwards of 5 feet from the extremities of.its wings, and it is now in the pos session of Mr. Fleetwood, chemist, of this town.
